Becoming Catholic

If you feel like you’re searching for something more, we might be able to be a resource for you.

If you have questions about Jesus, or spirituality, Pope Francis, etc., we have answers.

If you are looking to talk about or process your journey one-on-one and with a group, we might be right for you.

We are here to walk with you in your spiritual journey-to answer questions, to be conversation partners, to welcome newcomers, to offer from our community’s experience and to learn from yours.

For all who might have an interest in developing a relationship with Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) says: Welcome! If you find yourself being one of the people above, we’d love to hear from you!

If you are looking to receive Baptism, 1st Eucharist, and/or Confirmation as an adult, we’re the right place for you, too. Whether you’re interesting in learning about Catholic Christianity for the first time as a non-baptized person, want to continue your journey as a Catholic who was baptized but never received 1st Eucharist or Confirmation, or you are a Christian seeking to learn about what being Christian means from the Catholic perspective, contacting us is the first step to learning more!

We are always here for you as a resource and as a community. Please don’t hesitate to be in contact with us to ask any questions!

It all starts with the communication. Fill out our interest form, or contact Michael Beard at 847-620-3070 or mbeard@stannebarrington.org. We are excited to hear from you!

“For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the LORD,plans for your welfare, not for woe!Plans to give you a future full of hope.” (Jer 29:11)
